It would appear that the solution, on better 'educational' grounds, that the developers used to persuade the council that they could built a 'better' school at Thomas Muir involved the advantage of the Thomas Muir site being larger than the High school site.
They're building a school to accomodate more pupils than the exisiting Thomas Muir school on that site.
The school they are building is actually TWO schools combined. it will accommodate 1,200 pupils plus staff In school roll terms this will make it the largest school ever in Bishopbriggs
But...
The developers are going to build it on a smaller plot of land than the existing school occupies!
Bigger school on a smaller plot of land = land to sell for other development = profit
I wonder if the interim school board will still say they agreed to this now that they know the actual facts?
